Gold Logie 2025 Winner: Lynne McGranger takes out top TV honours at this year's awards

Home and Away favourite Lynne McGranger has won TV's top award, taking home the coveted Gold Logie at the 65th Annual TV Week Logie Awards. The celebration took place at Sydney's The Star on Sunday night, with the live broadcast airing on Seven from 7pm. McGranger, who also won Best Actress, has portrayed iconic Summer Bay inhabitant Irene Roberts for 33 years, and said she was 'thrilled and honoured.' 'This is going to be pride of place next to my 1974 Wagga Wagga Drama Festival Best Actress award,' she joked. 'Yeah, it's a soap, but (Home and Away) gives Australian actors and crew so much work, and we are so proud of it. 'To all the fans who for those of you out there that keep free-to-air television alive, please keep doing what you are doing, and watching what you watch.' The ceremony was hosted for the third year in a row by comedian Sam Pang, who used his opening monologue to skewer the Aussie TV industry. He had the crowd — and viewers at home — in stitches. 'It's inspiring that with the world in as much much turmoil as it is right now, that we as an industry have not wavered in our commitment and bravery in coming together tonight... to honour ourselves,' he joked in his opening remarks. But it wasn't all laughs: the audience, and viewers, were touched by the moving tribute to comedy star Magda Szubanski, who was inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame. The honour comes as the 64 year-old veteran entertainer battles stage four blood cancer. She was unable to attend the awards, with Marg Downey, her friend of 50 years, accepting the honour on her behalf. She recorded a heartfelt thank-you, showing off her newly bald head, shaved to 'match with my Gold Logie.' One of the most-loved stars on TV, Szubanski has won seven Logies in a career that has spanned 40 years. She has twice been named the most Popular Person on Television, in 2003 and 2004. 'Normally I don't come (to the Logies) because I just can't be bothered getting out of my pyjamas, but, you know, this time, there really is a real reason,' she joked. 'First of all, let's just get this out of the way, alright? I've not been awarded this honour because I've got The Cancer. I'm getting this because of 40 years of hard work.' There wasn't a dry eye in the house after Szubanski's emotional speech, which saw her thank friend Kristen, her 'absolute rock.' She also thanked the Australian public for their 'overwhelming' support, saying 'what can I say except, I love you.' The room took to their feet for a standing ovation in appreciation. Szubanski was just one of several women who took centre stage this year, with tennis great Jelena Dokic also winning fans for her deeply moving acceptance speech for her documentary, Unbreakable, which won in its category. 'I will say to every single girl and woman out there, never allow anyone to take your worth or happiness or smile away. Believe in your goals and dreams,' she said. This year, a record six women were in contention for the Gold Logie, with nominees including journalist Ally Langdon, I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Here! host Julia Morris, Muster Dogs' Lisa Millar, plus Masterchef's Poh Ling Yeow and Dancing With The Stars front-woman, Sonia Kruger. The sole male representative in the line-up this year was Lego Master's Hamish Blake, who attended the event with his business founder wife, Zoe Foster Blake — he embarked on an 'anti Logie Campaign' to ensure his female co-nominees got a look-in. This year's big winner was ABC comedy Fisk, which took home five awards in various categories, with the show's creator Kitty Flanagan taking out a gong for Best Actress in a Comedy. This year, long-time Home and Away star Lynne McGranger was the favourite to take out the Gold Logie for her stellar 33-year run playing Irene Roberts on the beloved show. The star, who attended the awards with her daughter Clancy, said she was thrilled to be ending her years-long run on such a high. 'If I had known this was going to happen, I would have left years ago,' she said. 'I am loving the ride — really, I am.' McGranger looked sensational in a custom-made gown by Dianne Lewis couture — the designer had previously made McGranger's 2023 outfit, and she said she was excited to work with her again. 'She approached me before she even knew I was nominated, through Donny Galella, our wonderful stylist,' McGranger said. 'When I was nominated for a Gold, she was so excited.' McGranger admitted on the red carpet that she thought her famous character would think it was 'a load of BS' that she had been nominated. Co-star Ada Nicodemou, who attended the event with partner and co-star James Stewart weighed in, saying she misses her 'dressing room buddy' and co-star, who left the show back in March, and that she was a worthy contender for the top award. All the Gold Logie nominees looked sensational in their Red Carpet outfits, including Julia Morris, who wowed in a custom Alin Le Kal couture gown in black velvet and tulle. Ever the pragmatist, she accessorised with her trusty trainers, which were hidden beneath layers of fabric under her skirt. Sonia Kruger, who took home the Gold Logie in 2023, also opted for a gold gown with pearlescant hues for her red carpet hosting duties, also wearing Alin Le Kal, while ABC journalist Lisa Millar opted for a vibrant purple number by Diane Lewis. But it wasn't just the ladies wowing on the red carpet — the men got in on the act too, with Gardening Australia's Costa Georgiadis making quite the splash with his flower crown and bouquet. Hamish Blake also looked dapper. As the only man nominated for Gold, he admitted he embarked on an 'anti campaign' in the hopes his female co-stars would be in with a better chance to win. Representing the west at the event were Seven's very own Rick Ardon and Susanna Carr, who attended the event together again this year. 'It's exciting. There's a nice big crowd here, with people from all walks of life,' Arden said. 'Also, we've got Michael Usher, who's of course, a Perth boy. Michael is up for a major award,' Carr said. Performing at this year's event was Iconic Aussie super star Jimmy Barnes, who opened the show with a stirring rendition of his hit, 'Working Class Man.' International singing sensation Richard Marx also performed, singing a medley of his biggest hits Hazard and Should Have Known Better — Australia's own Guy Sebastian also performed his new song.
